MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

Hi Admission Team
I was waitlisted in an university without interview !!
At this point, it is difficult to forecast the timing of a final decision or the likelihood of a favorable outcome. We will continue to review applications and will provide you with updated information as soon as possible.
In the meantime, please only contact us with any, significant changes to your application, including updated test scores, enhanced job responsibilities and/or professional recognitions or certifications.
The median GMAT is 635 and I have a 600.
I sent them a reply saying that their university is my top priority and that I have decided to take GMAT again in 6 weeks. And asked for the time frame within which the score is expected. And that I am excited about the new opportunity at work, my start up and personal blog.
They replied saying
Thank you for your email. The final international deadline is March 1; therefore, you would have until that time to provide updated scores and additional information in support of your application.
We thank you for your interest in the XXX MBA program, and will be sure to contact you by email with any change in the status of your application.
I have few clarifications !!
1) How long can I take to write the GMAT again??
2) Will they wait for my score or update on my profile for 6 weeks if I send them an update after 3 weeks saying I have progressed in my job and ask them to hold on??
3) Would a new job offer strengthen my profile now ??

You should take the GMAT by mid Feb to be safe. I recommend providing one update to them rather than two and whether a new job would help really depends on your specific situation. If you are interested in more detailed help, I offer a waitlist strategy package and I can help you answer these questions and more after evaluating your situation. Send me an email if you are interested in more information: [email protected]
Good luck!
Best,
Scott

Hi bluematter,
Anything you can do in the coming few weeks to improve your profile (higher GMAT score, new job offer or promotion) may help your candidacy. For more waitlist tips please visit:
